Isonzo is another amazing entry into the WW1 shooter series. Its gameplay feels even more refined, offering up worthwhile innovations, engrossing modes and phenomenal maps. While its online component is exceptional, unfortunately, the same cannot be said for its offline matches. If you're looking to play Isonzo solo, maybe wait for an update. However, if you're hoping to play online, then there really isn't another WW1 shooter quite like it on the market.
Genesis Noir is a visually spectacular video game with an enthralling, albeit abstract, narrative. While its more gameplay focused segments often bring the game down a notch, whenever Genesis Noir treats the player to one of its lavishly animated cutscenes, it's hard not to salivate at its gorgeous art style. The eclectic mix of sound and visuals create an experience unlike any other in video game history. Genesis Noir is truly unique, and while not always a fun experience, it is by far one of the most mesmerising adventures I've ever had the pleasure of undertaking.
Cyanide & Happiness - Freakpocalypse is an entertaining game with a bittersweet sense of humour. This won't be for everyone as it is entirely reliant on the player enjoying Cyanide & Happiness' trademark cynically crass humour.
Sir Lovelot is a challenging platformer with precise controls and a gorgeous visual style.
Boomerang X is a stylish, fun and arcadey arena shooter that oozes originality and charm.
Persona 3 Reload is a remarkable remake, one that improves the majority of the original game while remaining entirely faithful to the source material.
Forgotten Fields is a beautiful game that tells a heartwarming and painfully relatable narrative. While its gameplay can be shallow, and there were numerous visual bugs, Forgotten Fields' narrative is so strong and meaningful that I could overlook its various shortcomings.
Everhood is an interesting experiment disguised as a game. While I enjoyed the gameplay's psychedelic nature, I found myself frustrated by the antiquated game design.
Blue Fire is an inconsistent masterpiece. It is incredibly enjoyable and offers moments of true brilliance but is often let down by its imprecise platforming and general shortcomings.
Windfolk is a great game, with excellent flying, several gorgeous open environments to explore, an exciting and captivating narrative, and, on occasions, enjoyable combat.
Moonglow Bay is another entry into the ever-growing life sim genre and feels as relaxing and stale as many of the other entries before it.
Monster Crown is by no means a bad game. It is an excellent Pokémon clone that brings a lot of much-needed features to the table. However, for those looking for something a little more modern, you'd be best looking elsewhere.
Before Your Eyes is a frustrating buggy mess. There were several times when the game crashed and many more when it refused to stay in focus. But despite all of its shortcomings, Before Your Eyes is an incredible narrative game with a mechanic that can add a tremendous amount to the gameplay. If you feel you can overlook some of its imperfections, then this might just be the game for you.
Half Past Fate: Romantic Distancing isn't a bad game by any means. It tells an insightful narrative about a long-distance relationship during a lockdown. Unfortunately, it lacks any real nuance due to its short runtime and can often feel rushed.
Ultimately, Academia School Simulator reminds me a little of my own time at school. It could be really fun, but at the end of the day, no one really cared about the students.
Deiland: Pocket Planet Edition is a good game if you're searching for a chilled game to relax to. However, if you're looking for a deep farming sim, you may want to look elsewhere.
While Immortals Fenyx Rising: Myths of the Eastern Realm fails to bring the title to its fullest potential, it offers some fresh innovations that fix the mostly dull original game. The shift in narrative tone helps alleviate the base game's narrative inconsistencies, and the reduced length means you're able to make the most of the combat and climbing systems quicker. However, the fact that it's essentially a reskin of the base game means that this DLC never reaches the heights it should.
Synergia is a superficially beautiful title. While its heart-warming romance is handled excellently, its mind-numbingly confusing narrative asphyxiates it.
Summer Catchers is visually stunning, but it is let down by its central mechanic and is too arduous to warrant playing.
Persona 5 Tactica's deep turn-based mechanics and intriguing story are great, but it fails to live up to the very game it is based on.
